Stanford football is preparing for its upcoming season opener against Hawaii with an ongoing competition for the starting quarterback role. Interim coach Frank Reich emphasized the importance of daily evaluations during practices and meetings. Three candidates are in contention: Ben Gulbranson, Dylan Rizk, and Elijah Brown. Gulbranson and Rizk have prior starting experience, while Brown has limited playing time from the previous season. Reich noted that the newly transferred quarterbacks have integrated well into the team dynamics, and no deadline has been set for announcing the starting quarterback.
We're obviously evaluating every day. Every meeting, every walkthrough, every practice, it all matters.
We don't have a set deadline on when we're going to make that decision; we think it will become clear and apparent.
Gulbranson and Rizk will compete with redshirt sophomore Elijah Brown, who appeared in three games for Stanford and started once.
Reich said that the QB transfers have assimilated quickly and fit in well with the rest of the team.
